Fantastic. Ordered the monkey bowl and enjoyed it very much. Kind of spendy but nice and easy. Today is a good day!
I absolutely love this place!! Super yummy acai bowls, average price and have yummy toppings. Tastes super fresh. Sign up for rewards and get 100 points immediately. You can earn free stuff fast. I got 2 free coffees. I wasn't a fan of the latte but I did love the macadamia nut bullet coffee. I used to love the Waikiki location by international market I am super sad that one closed. I hope they bring one back to central Waikiki. But still love this place and their cute merch. Nice staff, quick to get food and fun outdoor seating.
Got the smoothie and açaí. Both were pretty bland and the açaí was icy / gritty like it had frost bite. I've had way better quality at other places. I did like the honey and coconut dust topping.
My dad ordered the Paradise Punch smoothie and I liked it so much that I had to buy my own! That drink has bee pollen in it which I've never seen. It has such a fresh and tropical flavor which I loved. There's limited indoor and outdoor seating but the vibe is very friendly.
Service was quick, menu was easy to read, overall ease of getting there and getting out was good. Mostly street parking though. The ambience of the area was very surfers/California/tropical/happy. I am giving it three stars because the açaí bowl's actual flavor was lacking for me. Seems like the bowls are a big part of the menu, and they should just be a little bit more high-quality in my opinion. However, I would give their savory food a four star rating as the sandwiches were good. Smoothies also seemed to be quite good as well.
The bowls are granola heavy, emphasis on HEAVY. Came here in a group and we ordered tropical bowls. Not extremely great because it was too much granola. Should have been balanced with more of the base and fruits. Not a fan and won't be back. When I let the ladies know that myself and my group found that it was loaded with too much granola, they didn't provide a resolution and that was disappointing but affirming to know that I won't return.
Açaí bowls after hiking was a MUST for my friends and I. We tried Sunrise Shack -- per our friends and families recommendations. We ordered the Tropical Bowl and our friends ordered the Blue Dream Bowl. This was so refreshing and felt so healthy :-) Mahalo Sunrise Shack!
My fiancé and I made a quick stop after a dip in the ocean. We were greeted by a friendly staff. The vibe of the establishment just feels positive and welcoming We ordered the monkey bowl, berry toast, and iced cappuccino. It felt good to nourish our bodies with fresh whole foods. The blueberries on the berry toast were my favorite! They were big and the texture..it felt like biting into a grape. They also offer parking behind the back of the building, which is always nice. They are a little bit pricey. It's not a place I would visit on the daily, but definitely on days when I want to treat myself!
Great acai bowls. In a nice small area. Their service is very friendly and the food is so fresh! Parking is tight so you may want to park at the shopping center/ grocery store area and walk to it. It's only a 2 minute walk.
This spot is a little pricey, but it's really cute and close to Waikiki. The smoothie bowls and smoothies are great and their coffees are kinda mid. The folks working there are really nice and the service was pretty fast! It can get busy since it's next to Leonards. Next time, I'd skip the coffee and stick with the smoothies and bowls :) everything is made fresh and tastes healthy. The place is also very instragramable and aesthetic if that matters to you.
Stopped by since friends were craving Leonards and I wanted something a little lighter. The staff + owner are super friendly here! I ordered the paradise punch, and added banana to be blended and they accommodated my request. They also offer samples. Such a beautiful smoothie! It is on the pricier side for what it is though.
I absolutely loved this place. The staff was extremely nice, gave good recommendations and the service was fast. The place is a bright yellow you can not miss it. It definitely fits the Hawaii vibe. If your looking for a quick but filling breakfast this is the place to stop. The toast was amazing.
Refreshments in Kapahulu, Honolulu, Hawaii... We saw this new location of The Sunrise Shack and decided to check it out! We have been to the Ala Moana Center's location in the Makai Food Court. I think I like that location better than this Kapahulu location because of the air-conditioning and easier parking. The Sunrise Shack on Kapahulu Avenue has a small parking lot along the sidewalk of Kaimuki Avenue. Look carefully for the designated signs, park, and walk around the corner to the entrance. It's the former location of Kono's. Inside, the cozy shop had a small, portable air conditioner. I couldn't feel any cool air, so I had to consume my bowl outside, along the sidewalk. We sat on chairs and watched the traffic go by. The exhaust fumes and dust were our ambiance. Service was friendly and efficient! The diligent cashier even went outside to sweep up leaves at the entrance. She's so good! I got the Tropical Bowl which had a mango and banana base. The toppings were little chunks of pineapple, coconut flakes, pitaya sauce, and crunchy granola. Yum! I'll go back to the Ala Moana Center location... even though Leonard's Malasadas is right next door... very tempting and convenient!
Ok so you're likely nearby getting something from Leonard's. If you or anyone you're with wants a healthier option and/or something to drink, don't skip this local gem! They have multiple locations around the island. The avo and salmon toasts are amazing. And the acai bowl options are super healthy and tasty, a tough combo but they make it happen! read more

Start your day with a Sunrise... Congratulations on the newest location in Kapahulu a busy spot as it's the many source to enter/ext the freeway but as it sits right across Crane Park down the street from Kapahulu Shopping Center and right next door to Leonard's they do have parking right behind the building so grabbing that cool treat is so easy. Just look for the vibrant yellow building and step in to the coolest place in Kapahulu though the air in the shop isn't quite there it was quite hot in there though they do have some counter seating with the suggestion of the staff we sat outside as the cool island breeze was much nicer to enjoy. It was the "I Lava You" smoothie the bananas, strawberries and coconut cream is too hard to resist and you know they know what they're doing it wasn't very sweet at all the cacao nibs added some bitterness to it with a slight crunch but could've done without it. The staff there are just a delight and I really love what they're did with it the decor all the same like the other locations which gives you the feel as if you're at a shack outside with the painted clouds on the ceiling which is so fun and sweet just like their treats. Thank you! read more
Got an açaí bowl and Americano. The coffee wasn't that great to be honest and the açaí felt overpriced for what it was (20 dollars total) The wait was kind of long but since it's a pretty touristy destination it made sense. Indoor seating is limited but we went across the street to eat at the park. Inside was kind of warm and it was cramped while everyone was waiting for their food. The cashier was friendly though. read more

Stopped by Sunrise Shack Kapahulu and overall had a pretty good experience. The granola was definitely the highlight... it was crunchy semi sweet with a hint of cinnamon.. overall really tasty. I was a little disappointed that the açaí wasn't freshly made... it came from the back fridge, pre-made in bulk, which made it taste generic. I've been to the original sunrise shack location, so my expectations were high. If I'm being honest, I don't think this place lives up to the original. I also wish the bowl had more variety of berries instead of mostly bananas. read more
